Book says to just tighten them down, thats seems vague to me. 1959 235 | | | | | Joined: Jun 2011 Posts: 1,901 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2011 Posts: 1,901 | It means an unknown number of turns with a good wrench tighter than finger tight.... and don't break it off I usually go for when it stops turning and squeaks out "OK" but if that's still to vague you might try this Torque Me
Give me ambiguity or give me something else

Tighten it to what yoyu "feel" is right. Better, is to use the torque value for the particular bolts you are using. They can be found on the web. I use thread locker where appropriate and have even drilled for safety wire or a cotter pin.

I agree with the afore mentioned though... Just tighten till you're happy with it. It'll be fine. Jerry | | |
